That's kinda my whole thing with the current weight rule. There is nothing that says you can't weigh 20 lbs if you wanted to add enough fuel as long as your airframe is 11lbs. I would be curious to know with 22 ounces of fuel, what your takeoff weight, and landing weight actually is. Not that it really matters.
In E, we are pushing the limits of our batteries and don't have anyroom for reserve (well in Masters). They would last much much longer if we weren't pushing them. Which would make it more cost effective.

Thanks for the input Ryan, it makes sense to me why you left that tank there! But I see many others that run big tanks, and header tanks, and land with 1/2 tank. It's odd to me that anyone that flys glow would do this (not you Ryan) and then complain that some e guys want a rule change.

As for me, I don't think there is a disadvantage to a weight change, but I haven't been around the block nearly as long as Dave and Tony. I've spoken with both on this issue, and can see both sides. Just don't know who is correct on what would happen if a rule change were made. Time will tell, and whatever happens, happens. It's not cheap now to fly the 2meter planes, and it will never be regardless of what the decision is. Pattern is expensive, and complicated and I feel that is why some people stay away.
